Personnaly, I would purchase a John Deere but I understand your delema.....I think your HP isn't bad and should be adequate to cut grass and I would guess eventually you will bale hay on your property. That HP will run a small square baler if you are so inclined and you can run a sickle mower and hay rake as well...when the time permits.. That size will run a post hole digger with no proble.
A box blade is just what it sounds like it's a blade shaped like a box and is used to level out high spots on your poperty many times landscapers utilize box blades to level out the seed be for new plantings at house or building construction. Most box blades have retractable teeth on the inside of the blade which allows you to break the soil first and then run the blade to level.
As to your original question I think I would also look at a Massey Furgeson...very good economical tractor with a long heritage in the business and they maintain a large tractor design...weight and heft are keys to making a tractor very productive for the tasks you ask it to do....small light tractors are very manuverable in tight situations and perform many tasks very well but weight and heft are the keys to accomplishing the tasks not necasseraly HP. I have several 1940's50's tractors that have very limited HP but their overall design and weight make them very effective and efficient machines. Any way Good Luck
